SFWA "kerfuffle"
Kerfuffle: A commotion or fuss
Fuss: n. A state of excessive and unwarranted concern over an unimportant matter:
v. To trouble or worry over trifles.
v. To disturb or vex with unimportant matters.
synonyms for fuss: dither, pother, tizzy, flap
fret, niggle
Try and pretend 'kerfuffle' isn't gendered. Who else fusses? Who else gets into a tizzy? Who else frets? If your answer isn't 'women', but 'babies', well, that's not any better, now, is it?!
I for one would much rather be part of a SFWA Hue and Cry.
